Col. F. r. WELz, Merchants Hotel
Despite the fact that the Legislature will
not meet here this winter, l never knew
business to be better, and in converse
ton with the leading wholesale men of
St. Paul my statement is fully subStan-
tiated. A comparison of the business
done by my house with last season, be-
ginning with fall, shows that receipts
have been larger and guests more
numerous than ever before in the his
tory of the Merchants. And it is a good
class of customers, too, that has patron
lied us, and the other hotels report the
same gratifying results. While we
naturally regret that the Republican
convention will not be held at Mime
apOlis next year, our carnival season
will make amends for any deficiency i'll
that respect. Already a number of the
best rooms in my house have been en-
gagged for the carnival. and principally
by persons living in the East, some of
them as far north as Connecticut. We
anticipate a big rush from the 18th of
january until the ice palace is thing

AN EXCELLENT IDEA,

There has been formed recently in
Washington a wOman'S club with an eX-
cellent object in View-the reading of
newspapers. 1t is a lamentable fact
that the average woman is not a news
paper reader. If She knows anything
about current news it is learned by hear
say and in superficial way. At best
she gets but Smattering of matters
with which she should be well ac-
quainted. She should be as we'll i'll
formed as Ia what is contained in the
foreign news department as she is with
that contained III the department of
births. deaths and marriages. But gen
orally she isn't. Now this is all wrong.
There is no reason why a woman
shouldn't be as cOnVerSant with the
news of the day as her brother or hus-
band.
That is the way certain number of
women in Washington have reasoned,
and the result is the formation of a So
ciety which meets several times weekly
at the houses of the members. Leading
newspapers are then read, the articles
diScu sSed and criticised until every per-
son present is thoroughly familiar with
them and has tolerably good knOwl-
edge of the subject. The idea has be-
come very popular at the capital, and
other clubs, having the same object, are
forming. Whoever originated the
scheme deserves credit. for seldom has
there been form OF social amusement
devised which carries with il so much
substantial benefit.
Newspaper-reading clubs should be
popular elsewhere than in Washington.
and their extension throughout the
country would soon have a perceptible
effect in raising the standard of average
feminine Intelligence. at least so far as
the days happenings are concerned.

know how much you love the baby un-
til It's dead. You will never know how
dear are its mischievOuS hands and its
clamorous voice to you until they are
quiet in death.
Mother, love your baby! love it hard.
There are those who say it is sin to
love your child too devOtedly. If this
is so, then be sinner. Be hardened
sinner. Be the worst kind of a sinner
on earth, and when it comes to the gen.
eral summing up you'll stand just as
good show for winning prize as will
those just-so-far-and-n0-fu cattle
who think it is possible for parents to
love their children too much. Chill
dren were created to be loved, and the
woman who doesn't worship her baby
isn't worth the name of mother.

EDWARD s. BEAN, Captain Company

tional Guard-My command is putting
in the winter preparatory TO giving a
series of exhibition drills in the princi-
pal Eastern cities next summer, and
will also enter the competition drill at
indianapolis. Owing to the distance,
we will not go into the proposed cOmpe-
tition at Austin. Tex. but cOniine our
efforts to more accessible points.
Every Tuesday night we have squad
drill. and Thursday evenings art de-
voted to the company maneuverS, in
which thIrty-tWO men participate.
When we 90 on our trip it is likely that
we will take fOrty-three men, all told,
with us. and the boys have shown the
greatest enthusiasm and alacrity in the
task that | have set for them. That
Wisconsin company which was awarded
the first prize at the Chicago drill did
not accept our challenge, but in one of
their home papers declared that they
could not compete with second honor
company like ours. That was fine
bluff for them to make, especially as
they were victorious over the Toledo
cadets. all organization that was ninth

A BLAINE ORGAN.

1t is a curious story. which is now
hedged around with enough circum-
Stantial evidence to give it credence,
that involves the purchase of the Chi
cagO Times by Il syndicate of Republic
ans, who will manage it in the interest
of Mr.. BLAINE'S candidacy for the
presidency. That the distinguished
gentleman from Maine is in sore need
of defender i'll Chicago is especially
evident since the detection of the Trib-
une, hitherto thick and thin sup
porter of Mr.. BLAINE. But that the
Times should have been secured for
such service will seem odd, indeed, to
those old-timers who have been ac-
quainted with its sturdy Democracy for
more years than they would care to
count. Evidently buffeted by fortune
and the law courts, the magnificent
property which STOREY spent life
time in creating is nearing the end Of its
usefulness.
The Journal whose one end and aim
is the advancement of the personal in
terestS of one man can never fulfill its
destiny as a newspaper. 1t becomes an
organ pure and simple, by which moth
ing is presented that does not aid in the
one object for which it exists. If the
ghost of STOREY does not haunt the edi-
tOrial rooms of the Times the first night
it passes into the control of the BLAINE
crowd, it will only be because the vet
eran editor is hampered in ''that I'M
known bourne from which no traveller
returns by bonds which even an &C.
stacy of frenzy cannot break.
But even though he should purchase
an organ in every city in the country,
we are much inclined to the belief that
Mr.. BLAINE'S long purse will avail him
nothing.

Shaky Chances.

Belle Paine Herald.
Gov. McGill, it would appear, is not
in the best possible odor i'll his own
political party, and it seems as if his
chances for a denomination were some
what shaky. Could the reason of the
governors appropriately be because he
has put his foot down on an extra SEES
sion of the state legislature? Perhaps.
Who knows? If so, the governor is to
be, after manner, congratulated, for
in our opinion he deserves the thanks of
the people of the state, for boldly de-
Ginning to be party to an extra session.

as sure as fate the Democratic cOnven-
ton will meet at Chicago, too, thus fol-
lowing the good example set by the Re-
publcanS in 1884. There is no finer hall
in the world than that in the exposition
building Oh the lake front. with capac-
ity for 10000 spectators. It's useless to
talk of going elsewhere with the cOnven-
ton, for Chicago can take care of the
biggest crowds and do it in a regal man
ner as well. No one who ever visited
the Garden City on one of these cOnVen-
ton occasions had any fault to find with
the hotel accommodations or the man
ner in which delegates were entertained,
so that it was no wonder to me that only
three ballots were necessary to decide
the question of location at the recent
meeting of the Republican committee at
Washington. There is time enough yet
for the cities of the Northwest to secure
this prize, but they must wait few years,
until they are more fully developed. l
do not say this with any desire to crow
about Chicago, but am simply stating
facts that can readily be verified.

ference with j. r. MCMUERAN OH the
subject. We have had no difficulty in
raising the funds to insure the COM
pletiOn of our new edifice, which will be
used not only for theatrical purposes,
but for business as well, and will cost
S250.0OO. Ground will be broken for the
building as soon as spring opens. and ii
is our expectation that it will be COM
pleted in time fer the inauguration of
the season of 1888 and 80. The site Sc
lected. corner of Sixth and Cedar streets,
will give an upward tendency to real
estate in that vicinity, and | do not
think that any one who invests in the
stock Of the new theater will have
cause to regret it. My connection with
the enterprise will be as lessee of the
theater only, and | will not have any
interest in the business block save as a
stakeholder. and have already put up
my money for that purpose.

may be imagined when the readers of
the GLOBE learn that exclusive of dead
walls OF buildings and fences there are
100000 square feet embraced in the bill

largely upon this method of adyertiS-
ing. because 4 class of people are at
tracted to the display made on the bill
boards who never think of looking in a
newspaper for theatrical attractions.
But with society plays it is different.
and stars like Mrs. LANGTRY. FANNY
DAVENPORT and RHEA depend upon
the press for keeping them before the
people and telling what they have to
offer as features. In the domain of the

prominent role. and milliOnaires and

next to Buffalo Bills Wild
West show. and of course Mr.. GRoAT

OwningS ten fold.
Mr. MURPHY has two good ideas of
theatrical management worthy of men
ton. In the first place, he thinks that
prices of admission ought to be reduced
by all the theaterS He thinks that a
dollar is enough to pay for the best seat
i'm the best house to see the best show
on earth. In the second place, he has
dispensed with the services of a press
agent. He is of opinion that a good
show doesn't need booming and bad
one doesn't deserve it; consequently he
doesn't see the necessity of hiring a
. man to buzz the newspaper offices Just
to make life burthenSOme to the in
mates. Mr.. MURPHY fully appreciates
the value of newspaper advertising. but
thinks that the advertising column is
the place to do it.
"a kicker from away back" wants
to know why the opera house
management doesn't furnish pro-
grammes free for the balcony and gal
lery. and not allow the usher boys to be
hurrying around through the audience
trying to sell the programmes at three
cents apiece. Another kicker from not
50 far back wants to know why the pro-
gramme is filed up with advertisements
and contains so little information about
the performance. He thinks that there
should be a synopsis of each play, or an
argument of each opera on the pro-
gramme. and that the selections played
by the orchestra at each performance
Should be printed also. 1t is done in
the theaterS in Eastern cities, and he
thinks st. Paul audiences are entitled
TO equal consideration.
